Driving Jet Skis With Passengers

It’s not uncommon for people to ride double on a jet ski. This means one rider and one passenger. However, the more weight that is on the ski the harder it is to control and easier it is to flip over. So before deciding to ride with a friend or family member, make sure you check weight limits on the ski.

At Myrtle Beach Jet Ski Rentals, we have a firm policy of 2 people and/or 400 lbs per ski. However, we do allow the driver and passenger to switch roles on the water, as long as they’re both within the qualifications. When driving a ski with passengers, have them hold onto you as if you were riding a motorcycle (around the stomach area).

The worst thing a passenger on a jet ski can do is lean when you are turning. Leaning with the ski will more than likely cause it to flip over. Make sure your passengers always keep their feet inside the footwells of the ski. If for any reason the passenger of a jet ski falls off, they are not attached to the kill switch, so it is imperative that the driver of the ski turn it off immediately in order to allow the passenger to get back on the ski without getting caught in the impeller.

What Is The Cost Of Owning A Boat?

Are you thinking of owning your own boat? Make sure you’re taking into consideration ALL the costs that come with owning a boat. First time boat owners often make the mistake of underestimating the money they have to spend after they buy a boat.

Obviously paying for fuel is a huge cost when it comes to having a boat. And the amount of money you spend to put in your car’s gas tank is nothing compared to what a boat fuel tank will cost to fill up.

Operating costs like maintenance, repair, or replacement of essential things for your boat is also going to run pretty high. It’s impossible to know how much boat maintenance is going to cost you, but it’s definitely not something that can be skipped out on.

Insurance for boats is not a requirement in all states, but is most definitely worth considering. Imagine if cars did not have insurance on them, how much money people would be paying out of pocket for accidents. Oh, and on that note, imagine cars with no insurance and also no brakes (because boats don’t have brakes). At the end of the day, boat insurance is up to the owner.

Depending on what kind of boat you buy, you may have to store it at a marina or storage facility. The price to have your boat stored differs, but its definitely not cheap.

So, before you crunch the numbers on how to buy that new boat you’re looking at, take into consideration all the major costs of owning a boat and not just the sticker that’s on the front at the time of purchase.

If you’re not sure whether you want to own a boat or not yet, renting with Myrtle Beach Jet Ski Rentals is always an option. With renting, you don’t have to worry about maintenance, insurance or other fees, and it will take a lot of hassle out of getting to enjoy a day on the water.

Why Do Jet Skis Flip Over?

While modern jet skis are very stable, there are many factors why it is very possible for your jet ski to flip over.

Seasoned jet ski riders know the deal, if you feel like you’re gonna fall off your ski, you let go of the handles, whether you are falling slowly or fast, the biggest reason your ski will flip over is because you are falling off the ski and taking it with you.

Losing control of the ski during high speed turns can result in your ski flipping over. The basic laws of physics explain that one. On the other hand, because jet skis run on a jet propulsion system, keeping the ski moving is essential, because trying to turn at low speeds will cause the ski to flip.

Another common reason your ski will flip over is because of the weight on the ski. The more weight you have on a jet ski, the easier it is to flip over or fall off. On average, a jet ski itself has a weight limit of about 600 lbs. But, our suggestion is to keep it around 350-400lbs. This includes the combined weight limit if there are two riders.

Flipping your jet ski happens to everyone, even the most seasoned PWC riders. Make sure to keep in mind to always board your jet ski from the back, and if you must right a flipped ski check the back of the ski for the direction in which you need to turn it.

At Myrtle Beach Jet Ski Rentals, we do have a weight limit on our rental skis, in order to keep our customers safe. If you flip a jet ski while on a tour, your guide will help you to flip it back over.
